Iced Matcha thé vert (No lait)
If you want a clean, refreshing iced matcha drink without lait, this is the one to make. It tastes bright and grassy, with a slight sweetness and none of the heaviness of a latte.
The trick is simple: fouet matcha first with a little warm eau, then dilute over ice with cold eau. That keeps the texture smooth and avoids clumps.
What ingrédients do you need?
- 2g matcha poudre (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons)
- 60ml warm eau (around 75–80°C)
- 180–220ml cold eau
- Ice (a full glass)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey syrup or ¼ teaspoon maple syrup
For meilleur flavour, use a bright latte-grade or entry ceremonial matcha. If you are unsure what to buy, start with our meilleur matcha poudre UK guide and ceremonial vs culinary breakdown.
How do you make iced matcha thé vert?
- Sift the matcha into a bol or shaker cup.
- Add 60ml warm eau and fouet for 15–20 seconds until fully smooth.
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour in the matcha concentrate.
- Top up with 180–220ml cold eau.
- Stir once and taste. Add a little sweetener only if needed.
You can also shake it: add the foueted concentrate + cold eau + ice to a shaker and shake for 8–10 seconds for a frothier finish.
Why does iced matcha taste bitter sometimes?
Bitterness usually comes from one of three things: eau too hot, too much poudre, or low-grade matcha. Keep your prep eau below 80°C, stay near 2g per serving, and choose fresher matcha with a greener colour.
If it still tastes sharp, add 20–30ml more cold eau before sweetening. Dilution first usually fixes balance better than sugar.
How do you avoid clumps in cold matcha?
Never dump dry matcha straight into cold eau. It will clump almost every time. Always start with a small amount of warm eau and fouet until glossy and smooth, then add cold eau and ice.
A fine-mesh sieve makes the biggest difference. If you make matcha daily, a small matcha accessories setup is worth it.
Can you batch-prep this for later?
Yes. fouet a 2–3 serving concentrate and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar. When ready, pour over fresh ice and dilute with cold eau.
Avoid storing pre-mixed iced matcha with ice already in it, flavour gets flat and eauy fast.
facile flavour variations
- Lemon iced matcha: add 1–2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice.
- Mint iced matcha: slap a few mint leaves and stir in.
- Sparkling matcha: swap half the cold eau for chilled sparkling eau.

Frequently asked questions
Is iced matcha thé vert the same as an iced matcha latte?
No. Iced matcha thé vert uses eau only, while an iced matcha latte includes lait. The eau-only version tastes lighter and more tea-forward.
How much caféine is in iced matcha thé vert?
A 2g serving usually lands around 60–70mg caféine, depending on grade and harvest. See our full matcha caféine guide for ranges.
Can I make iced matcha without a fouet?
Yes. Use a shaker bottle: sift matcha, add warm eau, shake hard, then pour over ice and cold eau.
What is the meilleur matcha grade for iced eau-based drinks?
A good latte-grade or entry ceremonial poudre works meilleur. Very cheap culinary matcha can taste too harsh when there is no lait to soften it.
Do I need sweetener?
Not always. Start unsweetened, then add a small amount only if needed. Better matcha usually needs less.
Ingredient tip: Using ceremonial grade matcha poudre helps keep flavour smooth and balanced in this recette.
